|March 16, 2025
A new ServiceSG centre has officially opened in Woodlands, providing residents there with access to more than 600 different government services.
Located at the Woodlands Civic Centre, the centre is the ninth to open in Singapore since 2021.
ServiceSG centres provide Singaporeans with access to services from across 25 different government agencies. They range from resetting Singpass accounts to filing taxes and passport renewals.
Speaking at the centre's official opening on March 15, Minister-in-charge of the Public Service Chan Chun Sing said ServiceSG centres are part of the public service's commitment to ensure that Singaporeans have access to government services despite the digitalisation push.
